Topic: Why TSM is DANGEROUS...

There was a time, not so long ago, when thrills, entertainment, and a sprinkling of education all went hand in had at DL. DCA seemed to start off on that note, but not so much now. Everything is just dumbed down and people seem to follow along mindlessly.

The young folk out there are populating the park more and more, as video games become more and more common." But is there not a way to incorporate the latest technologies with subjects that this audience can relate to without everything being so commercial and trendy? I guess not.

Unfortunately, Disney's track record with those sorts of changes is pretty awful -- really, how hard would it be to make a new Star Tours film in the digital age? I think TSMM will be quite popular, especially since it is a dark ride (kinda) in a park that needs many more dark rides. The exterior adds depth to Paradise Pier compared to what was there before.

While it sounds like they are the same games, but with different shapes and colors (breaking a pumpkin with a baseball instead of a plate), it still sounds neat. It will certainly add a little something extra to the attractiona, and will make it more interesting to ride year-round. It also shows that, unlike other attractions, they actually do have plans to keep updating this one.

People assume and infer every hr. of every day." Then I think neither of you should ride this ride. Ever. But you will. Multiple times.
